The food at this restaurant is very good! However I had their Chicago style pizza today and it was eh. The restaurant changed something. The sauce and crust is good, however the bottom of the crust was soggy. I think adding too much sauce was the reason. read more

Went for out anniversary dinner. Everything was soooo flavorfull! Chicken Alfredo and Alfredo pizza. It had been a long time since I got pizza there (pepperoni) and remember it being so good, I didn't feel guilty just ordering the Alfredo pizza. It did not disappoint! The fresh bread and dipping oil is sooo good. I've had the manicotti and lasagna before but wasn't in the mood for marinara today. I will definitely take my Italian family here next time they visit. They would love it as much as we did! Not sure if chicken belongs in a wedding soup but that may just be my weirdness. Still good food all around every time! read more

We ordered takeout and spent a pretty penny here for 5 people. The people at the pickup counter were very nice but ultimately forgot a soup. The food was seriously nothing to come back for. I got the pasta Rosa, and it was seriously just pasta and sauce. Nothing else. Which would have been fine as a side but I was expecting it to be phenomenal in order for it to stand on its own as an entire dinner entree. My husband got the restaurants "favorite" - the pasta amato...he said it lacked flavor and the chicken wasn't seasoned at all. He did like the peas as an addition in the pasta though. Ugh and the tiramisu--gosh, I am so sick of restaurants thinking they're making tiramisu and they are not. Stop false advertising!!! It was a wetter vanilla cake with a hint of alcohol-- not worth it. Needless to say, We won't be coming back. I don't understand how this place has such high of a rating to be honest. It's like people in Westmoreland county have never had superb Italian food, meanwhile you could throw a rock and hit a pasta joint on any corner. I'm giving it a 2 because it was edible. read more

This place is always a treat! Giant portions, all made from scratch! The homemade creamy parm dressing is CRAVEABLE! Fresh loaves of bread served with dipping oil. Favorite dinners are chicken Marsala and Tuscan pasta! Service is always friendly. Ambiance is always clean. read more

I've eaten here many times. It's alway been very consistent with service and food. Everything I've had tastes homemade and the servings are a nice size. read more

I love this place. I've been there several times and have never been disappointed. They have great pizza. Tonight I had chicken piccata with garlic mashed potatoes. Salad to start had the carrots, onions and celery sliced very thin. Very good. The bread with the herb olive oil was delish. The service was excellent. Was in the back room and Michelle was our waiter and she was a gem. Can't wait to go back. read more

Abruzzi Italian Cucina - Chicken piccata - Italian Near Me - Irwin, Pennsylvania

From the moment we walk in, you can smell greatness aroma from their kitchen, all the amazing Italian food they cooking up, I highly recommend getting their Pasa sauces for dipping to go, my favorite dinner is their homemade Lasagna, it's just mouth watering, the Server told us, that recipe is dated from before Abruzzi Italian Cecina even opened , that's an ol' family recipe, they are very clean, have takeout too, full bar service also, we usually go there for si down or take out about twice month @Brenda Burns read more

Food: good - the kind of food you get from a pizzeria that has expanded food and liquor. Service: good, amiable and accommodating. Ambiance: generic, but clean. Booths and tables available for larger parties. read more

One of my favorite places for lasagna and chicken parm! Also, great dipping oil and warm bread loaf. Definitely recommen!

Met friends from the area here at their suggestion and what a wonderful surprise it was. It was a busy Friday night and thank goodness our friends made reservations. After a short wait we were taken to our table and began to experience pretty much all they had to offer. For appetizers we had their bread with oil and Italian seasoning, another bread selection, and their antipasta - all of it delicious. For dinner it was a share across the table of four different calzones - nice sized, fully filled, and they came out hot and fresh - delicious all of them as well. Finally for desserts we had cake offering and a cheesecake - both were (you guessed it) delicious as well. Service was super friendly, patient, and helpful - and was sure to keep my wife's iced tea bottomless - a bit plus. I can see why the locals give this the well deserved love it gets. read more

My wife and I were looking for a different place to eat and settled on Abruzzi. We did a date night here, but it would be fine for a family as well. The restaurant has a semi classy vibe, with a casual feel. The food was really good with a very extensive menu of Italian cuisine. We started out with some calamari. It along with the sauce is dynamite. I enjoyed Pasta Amato as my main. It was a nice mix of bowtie pasta, grilled chicken, and veggies. My wife had an Italian Hoagie and fries, which she really enjoyed. read more

This is our second time dining at this restaurant as it is a pretty far drive. I remembered how good everything was the first time and so glad we went back. The service is on point and our waitress took our order right away. We had the Stuffed Mushrooms, Blackened Chicken and Taste of Italy (‍). Everything was delicious and nice sized portions. The restaurant was clean and had ample parking. Worth the drive so we will definitely go back again soon! read more

Our favorite Italian restaurant in the area. The cuisine is authentic Italian. The staff are very nice and accountable. We usually always make a point to go here for any holiday celebration! Love the Italian background music. Prices are very reasonable. read more

So, these people appreciate their customers and it's always popping even when it costs $1,000 for dinner, this might be the last place on route 30 not raising their prices while gouging you on quality! I'm talking to you FIRE PIT (no hard feelings)! But I appreciate the staff and restaurants approach to dining here and I always get excited when I get a chance to eat their Buffalo Chicken. Buffalo Pizza Listen, if you don't order this you should fire yourself from making any more executive decisions. It's not expensive to buy a small pizza-- so do it and quit being a pain alright! Best Buffalo Pizza I've had, but it might be one of three I've ever had. Take that for what it is. 8/10 Oh, the desserts are on point too. Don't not order one! read more

Service is very welcoming/hospitable. Food is presented well, at a perfect temperature and at appropriate transition times. The waiters/waitresses are very attentive. The music, lighting and atmosphere are complimentary and appropriate for the cuisine and culture. Overall, this restaurant will be on my must visit list any time I am traveling through PA again. read more

Great food, great atmosphere that feels a little more upscale without the prices being high, great service. Portion sizes are good, I feel like you are getting your money's worth with coming to Abbruzi. They have a separate gluten free menu and are very accommodating to dairy free needs as well. I was a little disappointed that the chicken Marsala wasn't breaded. Doesn't feel like chicken Marsala to me without that. That being said, I 10/10 recommend. read more

Food was really good. We must have gotten there during a shift change. We were waiting to get seated and basically were forgotten about. It would also be great if they aren't going to keep their menu updated on the website then take it down. Both dishes that my wife and I decided on based on the online menu were no longer offered. We were obviously disappointed. read more

Went there for lunch yesterday. Service was excellent! We ordered the lunch portions my husband had the chicken parmigiana it was delicious and came with soup or salad and spaghetti the portion was larger than most restaurants serve for dinner! I had the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp and soup and it was also really good! We now have enough leftovers for another meal! Definitely will go back!! read more

We went to Abruzzi's Saturday evening. The service was excellent. The young lady was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and the sauce was almost as good as what Mom would make. The prices are good there also. I will go back read more

Went out for pizza! Wow was great! I love meatballs o my pizza , they don't put them on their menu as a topping! I asked they were awesome. I haven't had a bad meal here! Just know you may need a reservation to get in. Depending on time and day! Definitely on a weekend! Or Friday! read more

Just had fantastic meal Chicken Parmesan sandwich Crab cakes Wedding soup more Outstanding service read more

I just moved to the area and we tried this place out the other evening for dinner. I was very happy with the experience! The service was decent, we did feel a little rushed to order, and since we hadn't been there before it took us a little time to get through the menu. But the food was very yummy! The chicken parm is massive!! Wish I could have ordered the lunch portion for dinner. Entrees come with a salad and man that Parmesan dressing is yummy!! It is also very well priced. It's hard these days to find a good Italian meal that doesn't break the bank, so it was nice to see the pricing on the menu be acceptable! Will definitely be back! read more

I was impressed on many levels with my latest experience here. Pros: old school yinzer Italian place. Went for Mothers Day, place was packed, staff scurrying around and doing a GREAT job. A measure of a good Italian place is the bread they give you before your meal. This bread was good, with garlic/olive oil dipping saucesp (though I wished the crust was a bit harder). They have the standard dishes, plus calzones and pizza. Meals are generous servings, another sign of a good restaurant. Our server Charita was experienced, talented, and engaging. She rocked. Wedding soup was delicious. Cons: menus were frayed, place was dark, needed a fresh coat of paint. We sat along a wall shared with kitchen, and it was loud. I love Nine Inch Nails, but not when I am eating lol. Summary: I was very happy with my experience. Will be back. Pro Tip: ask for the Rosa sauce. It's a blend of their red sauce with their Alfredo sauce. Tasty. Pro tip 2: ask for some balsamic to mix with the garlic and olive oil. Adds another dimension to the flavors... read more

Friday dinner with a group. I got a diet drink work lemon. As the waitress walked away, my husband said "please don't forget the lemon". She did. I asked 2 additional times and the waitress kept saying ok, and finally my husband went to the bar and asked for one. Everyone else got the drinks they asked for. Very disappointed. read more

Love this place! Never had a bad meal! Good food and nice atmosphere! Staff was very nice! Decently priced! Would go back!

Food was excellent. We had Pasta Rosa, a white pizza and tiramisu. Shelley our server was phenomenal! Will definitely be back.

Another spot that has been on my watch list to try. It looks so inviting all the times I have driven past it, but I am usually on another mission and can't stop in. Up until today, I didn't have feedback from anyone else who has tried it, so I wasn't sure if the place was just all looks and nothing more. Meeting up with a friend gave me the opportunity to see for myself. The location is pretty convenient, and there is ample parking, thanks to another lot off to the side. The interior and exterior looks very inviting and classy. The dining area is spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. Plenty of room between patrons to allow for a decent conversation to occur. Our server was very friendly and cheerful as she explained the menu. They list lunch and dinner pricing next to each menu item. Menu features pizza,(4 different sizes and 10 different styles and flavors) I noticed an option to add ricotta cheese to your pizza. 8 different calzones, including a tuna calzone! Never heard of that. Menu is pretty extensive and features chicken, veal and seafood dinners, open faced sandwiches, hoagies, house specialties, (lobster ravioli with vodka cream sauce ) 14 different appetizers, soups and salads. Pretty decent options. I decided to order your standard meatball hoagie. However, when it was served to me, I noticed it wasn't a "meatball" hoagie. It was more like a crushed up meatball hoagie because there were chunks of meat all over the bun. The first bite indicated that it tasted exactly like a meatball hoagie but minus the round balls of meat I generally expect. The bun was great, the amount of sauce was just right, and the crunch of the bun made me forget all about the original appearance of it all. So much so, that I never even asked the server if this was the norm! All the more reason to go back and see if its the same, and to try a slice of the homemade cheesecake! Prices are reasonable and they offer a child's menu for those 12 and under. read more

I order eggplant parmesan nearly every time I dine at an Italian restaurant, and the eggplant parm here was melt-in-your-mouth fantastic! My friend thoroughly enjoyed his veal parm. Serving sizes were generous, so half of dinner became lunch the next day. Great meal, nice ambiance and super-friendly service! read more

For my first order at Abruzzi's, I think it's very good. Ordered for takeout a large pepperoni and sausage, small margharita with red sauce, and a chicken alfredo dinner. The order was hot, ready, and accurate in twenty minutes. Price was very reasonable, too! Compared to Luciano's in White Oak (I think these restaurants are related somehow, perhaps different Pasqrelli brothers), I slightly prefer Luciano's pizza. Luciano's does not currently offer a margharita, though, and I thought this one was pretty good. The problem with Luciano's is that they are not consistent. And for what they charge, they should be consistent. I digress... I do feel the chicken alfredo was superior at Abruzzi's, with the sauce being thicker. The side salad looked great and they also included a nice little loaf of bread, which was great. Sorry, no pics of this dinner. The takeout counter area was clean and the staff was helpful when I forgot to order additional alfredo sauce. Parking should be pretty easy except on their busiest nights. Abruzzi's, I've passed your restaurant hundreds of times and I am glad I stopped by tonight. Give it a shot. Rating four stars, though I think it's really somewhere between four and five. read more

On our way though PA on the turnpike we were fortunate to stop at Abruzzi , The manager-Sharon greeted us. What great food and service! We both had the lunch size Chicken Parmigiana- This comes with soup or salad- choose the salad with their special balsamic dressing- out of this world! Also warm bread with olive oil and oregano. It was a pleasure to find this wonderful place. read more

1st off it is not Amato's it is Abruzzi Italian Cucina, and anytime a place plays the name game... something fishy is going on! With that said, Décor is nice and I love the chandelier when you walk in. Our waiter was great! The wedding soup was also very good, And that's all the pros. We ordered the firecracker drink witch is mostly just Vodka with sprinkles. I had the chicken masala which I specifically ordered "well done". It took a very long time for our food, my friend had the lasagna. But I assumed it was because I ordered the chicken well done. Unfortunately as soon as I took a bite of my food I knew it... the chicken was still raw~! In my book, regardless of anything else... If you can't at least cook the food so people don't get sick then its an automatic FAIL! read more

never open,tired to open door art 7:30 p.m. and it was locked and they just looked at me and left !!! never go there !!!

Thank you! Amazing from the entrance. All around fantastic staff experience. Service was beyond expectation at 8:15 in the evening. We were passing through Irwin. I have always wanted to try--we will be back soon! After a long day at kennywood.. we discovered a gem to dine.. to stop.. and to return. read more

Got takeout from Abruzzi's today. They were obviously very busy. Not only was the food excellent but it was ready to be picked up when they said it would be. The staff didn't forget a single thing on the order and were very professional at their job. The owner definitely knows what they're doing in the hiring process. Definitely recommend and will be back as it's one of our favorites! EXCELLENT! read more
